About TARA RASING

Tracy did a great job helping us with a tight timeline on a relocation purchase from out of state. She was extremely responsive, kept in touch with our lender, got everything done very quickly and helped us buy a beautiful home. All of this while we were 1100 miles away. Her team was great too. After the close, she went out of her way to fix a minor issue with the home very quickly and made our transition seamless and painless. I highly recommend Tracy and would definitely work with her again.

Patricia is an amazing agent. She is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, and guides you to make the right decision for you. At times it can feel like realtors push to have you get the most expensive home, or that they are prioritizing their commission over your best interest, and Patricia is the opposite. She genuinely approaches her job as a long term relationship, which means her goal is for you to be happy with your decision after the excitement of a new home has faded. We trust Patricia not just with the home itself, but also have been blown away by the people she connected us with. We were introduced to an incredible mortgage officer, home...

John was incredibly professional throughout the entire home-buying process. He expertly guided me through a challenging experience with a difficult seller before helping us find a better opportunity. The home we purchased was a result of a short sale, and it involved a VA home loan on a condo that wasn't initially approved by the VA. Despite the massive amount of paperwork and an extended waiting period due to all the legal hoops involved (about three months from the offer), John was able to push the deal through. Thanks to his hard work, I got a fantastic deal on an excellent condo in a prime location (with a fantastic view to boot), and my girlfri...

Rowan was probably the only reason why we felt remotely comfortable with the homebuying process. WAY more than any other realtor we met, Rowan was patient with us and always seemed genuinely aiming to find us a home that we loved for a long time rather than a quick sell. Incredibly responsive and constantly figuring out the answers to any of the trillion questions that we had, Rowan always impressed us with how resourceful she was and her willingness to help us learn was the icing on the cake. We've recommended her to absolutely every friend looking to buy a home and we'd recommend her to anyone else.

Jesse was exceptional throughout every phase of our home-buying and responded to all our questions ranging from closet dimensions to how to navigate the nuances of the closing process with great punctuality and thoughtfulness. Jesse tactfully advocated for our interests throughout negotiations and was incredibly patient with our revisions, requests, and suggestions. Jesse effectively communicated with the listing agent and builders to ensure that we were in as comfortable a position to purchase as possible and has continued to extend his assistance even after closing. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone interested in the Seattle...

If we could give Tracy even more stars we would! She made us feel like we were her only clients. The Seattle market is such a moving target and she always was able to get us into see potential homes as quickly as we possibly could and then help us write competitive offers within several hours of seeing a house we wanted to write an offer on. Buying a home in this competitive of a market can seem like riding a roller coaster. It could seem daunting and sometimes hopeless, but not with Tracy! She kept us positive and focused and not only did we find a home we love, but we found it in only a little over a month! Tracy has an incredible eye, and could a...

I truly can’t say enough positive things about working with Jess, both as a professional and as a person. She was my advocate from the moment we matched on Zillow, before there was any formal contract or agreement between us. As a first time homebuyer I was questioning everything and feeling like I had to defend myself, and Jess quickly helped me realize that she was working in my best interest and wanted to help me find a place that felt special and like home. Her work was professional, fun, informative, organized, and assertive, which I loved (especially when creating our offer package!) I’m happy to say that Jess is now my friend and I have compl...

Thomas was phenomenal in walking us through buying our first home. The very first day when we went to view the property we were interested in, he brought a small book made specifically with information about the unit we were interested in, which also contained pictures and the timeline for how property buying works. Once we were ready to select a home for an offer, and encounter a snag with the mortgage company we were planning to use, Thomas was able to recommend one right away that worked hard to not only secure a good rate, but also one that he was able to communicate to regularly for helping us with updates. Anytime we had a question, any hour o...

Luke was fantastic to work with - I would very highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell! As a first time homebuyer on a tight budget, Luke made sure to make me feel understood and valued throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable about the area, consistently went above and beyond in his communication, and is generally someone you want to have in your corner!

Tracy sold our house in May 2022. We worked with her for about a year prior to the sale, as we got our house ready to go on the market. In addition to being extremely savvy about the Seattle market and what buyers want, she is also very client-focused. Every time we called her with a question or request, she always got back to us super quick and made us feel like we were her only clients -- a skill that is hard to find these days!! We wholeheartedly recommend Tracy. I know you'll love the service she provides -- everything will be tailored to your specific needs!!

Michelle was exceptional throughout our entire home-buying journey. Her availability and responsiveness made the process seamless - she was always just a call or text away when we needed her. Michelle's professionalism through the closing process with navigating all parties was impressive and helped us progress smoothly and quickly. From house hunting to getting our keys, Michelle provided top-notch service that exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional agent to help with their home buying journey.

Patricia did a great job of helping me prepare for the listing set a buyer review date and secure a above asking price offer. I highly recommend her for any future real estate opportunities that may come your way. She also helped me buy a new house in a different city with the same levels of expertise.

Camelia helped me find and ultimately purchase my very first home! It didn’t matter how indecisive I was, she was very patient with me which I appreciated. She understood how choosing your first home is huge decision that should just be done on a whim. She was great to work with and I highly recommend working with her.

My husband and I are so thankful to Tracy, Jesse, and the rest of the Collective Group for helping us find our dream home! Tracy and Jesse ensured that our specific preferences, budget, and desired location(s) were always kept top of mind throughout our search, helping us adapt and evolve these over time with expert recommendations, always making sure someone was available to show us properties we were interested in, helped us step-by-step from offer through closing, and even shared recommendations to help with the prep work we needed to get done on the house before we officially moved in! Once we found “the one,” Tracy worked closely with us to bui...

David was the absolute best. We had no intentions of even buying a home… just figured we’d set up a tour and see what’s out there for the future because, why not? But when I told him this was a multi-generational family looking for separate living units on one property, he sent back the absolute perfect place in our favorite neighborhood. We knew the second we toured it. He didn’t pressure us, he just got it right, literally right away. He helped us get connected with a pre-approver for our unique situation, got a rush electrician out in less than 24 hours to wrap up the inspection process, put us at ease during a very compressed closing window, and...

Johnny was so professional and helpful in the process of searching for a condo for my mom. He was knowledgeable of the areas we were looking at and found listings that matched what we were looking for. Johnny was always available and quick to answer all of our questions and concerns. I appreciated his honest feedback and looked out for our requisites. It was an added bonus that he spoke fluent Korean so he was able to help with communication respectively.

Denise is awesome! She went above and beyond to help us get just the right home for us, and fought for us every step of the way. She truly cares about her clients and prioritizes them, while also possessing keen insight and knowledge of the local housing market and negotiation strategies. She’s quick to communicate and never leaves you hanging. We can surely say with certainty that we’d never have closed on this home if it wasn’t for Denise’s hard work an amazing talent! She will truly work very hard for you, and we couldn’t give her a better recommendation.

Patricia assisted my mom in finding a home in Seattle. Patricia was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond to support my mom throughout the process and kept me in the loop through every step. Even with a long list of must-haves in the house, Patricia found the perfect oasis for my mom as she embarks on a new chapter in her life. I truly appreciated Patricia's professionalism and her ability to simplify the process so that my mom and I felt comfortable and understood all of the realty lingo. I highly recommend Patricia and am so thankful for the support she provided to my mom and her ability to step in for items that required onsite pres...

Tracy was instrumental in the wildly successful sale of our home. Not only did we get 24% over asking, but she project managed all of the home improvement projects that she recommended (hard wood floor renovation, landscaping, painting, etc). We were kept in the loop with everything, but didn't have to manage them ourselves, which was a huge relief. This is our second transaction with Tracy and I would recommend her to anyone looking to get the most return out of your home sale or to find your new dream home. Tracy is the best!!!

I worked with Tracy to sell my Townhome in Seattle Ballard area. As I'm a first time seller, I expect my agent to be knowledgeable and have experience in the market. Tracy meet my expectation as she has great knowledge and experience in Seattle housing market. She helps me identify areas where my home needs to be improved, find contractor to do it fast and she's very responsive to any questions or asks. I would recommend Tracy to other sellers as well.

I recently purchased a new house with the help of Alex, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Alex was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, from searching for properties to closing on the sale. He was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, and his knowledge of the real estate market was invaluable. What I appreciated most about Alex was his dedication to finding the right property for me. He listened to my needs and preferences and worked tirelessly to ensure that I found a house that met all of my criteria. His attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire process smooth and st...

Grace was wonderful to work with! She is deeply knowledgeable about the homebuying process, is responsive and communicative, and was helpful every step of the way. As a first-time homebuyer, there were several aspects of the process that were new to us, and Grace was able to explain everything for us. We also ran into a few unexpected issues after our offer was accepted, and Grace was able to navigate the complications and communicate with all the stakeholders to get the issues resolved. We're very grateful to have Grace as our agent and we'd be happy to work with her again in the future!

I had a great experience working with Kate to find my first home, which ended up being a new build. As a first-time home buyer, I really appreciated having someone so knowledgeable to tour homes with. I learned so much from her and really came to value her advice and opinions about which floor plans and finishes would add the most value to my house if I ever choose to sell it. She was flexible with my schedule and helped make this process as easy and stress free as possible. Even after closing, Kate continues to provide helpful resources and referrals. I really could not recommend Kate more to anyone looking to buy a home. She exceeded my expectations.

I had no idea what to expect clicking “tour home” but I was so unbelievably lucky to be connected with Tracy. From the start Tracy made the experience smooth, pressure-free, pragmatic, and clear. She and her team were always responsive to tour requests, were patient with my many many many questions and were considerate about little details - pointing out quirks of spaces, advising on pros and cons of properties, and adapting to my requests. Tracy ended up taking me to the home I wound up purchasing as a last min pop up that was closing the next day. She put together a competitive offer that reflected my goals and in <24 hrs we were accepted. Tracy’s...

When we first started the home buying process, we expected the process to be long and frustrating, but Tracy helped us navigate the process seamlessly and made the process easy. Tracy was so encouraging and responsive - making sure we considered every option and were able to see any house we wanted to tour. When we put in an our offer on our house, she made sure we put together a competitive offer and over-communicated with us and the seller's agent throughout the night to help us win the final bid. Having Tracy as our agent helped us find a house we truly love in this crazy market and made the process much less scary and arduous than we originally ...

Tracy and team went above and beyond in my entire experience buying a home. Tracy helped me navigate the complex Seattle housing market and made my first time buying a house a breeze. My experience during the house search and purchase was wonderful, but Tracy has gone the extra mile to help me navigate a few post-closing challenges. Tracy is an advocate for her clients and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a house in Seattle. Local Knowledge: In the area I was looking (Ballard, Fremont, Greenlake, Wallingford), Tracy had a great sense of where good locations would be for me and my partner. Her sense of the market (both what houses ...

I referred my family member to Tracy for their home sale in Seattle and was very impressed. I had a chance to interview her and she was very professional and knowledgeable about the local Seattle market. My family member really appreciated Tracy's prompt and consistent communication throughout the sale process. Tracy and her team did an amazing job staging and marketing the property effectively, leading to a sale in under two weeks. I highly recommend her services.
